One of the problems with this attitude is that the costs of such policies hit some industries much more than others, the US auto industry being the prime example. Representative Dingell knows that the cost of indulging Nancy Pelosi’s well-to-do environmentalists and hot-tubbers on global warming would fall disproportionately his blue collar constituents. (Note added in Dec 2008: Democrat Henry Waxman replaced John Dingell, also a Democrat, as Chairman of the House Energy & Commerce Committee. Messing with the Global Warmers can be costly) Even President Bush has rolled over on the issue, and the autoworkers never supported him like they did Rep. Dingell. On Oct 27,2006 Senators Olympia Snow and John D. Rockefeller sent a letter to the CEO of ExxonMobil complaining about that company’s support of a small cadre of global warming skeptics. The basic message was “Start toeing the Senators’ line on global warming, or else.” (WSJ Dec 4, 2006; see also WSJ Dec 13, 2006 for letters in response to this article) When did we lose the right to reasonable dissent or freedom of speech? The new environmentalism has become a religion for western elites + anti-capitalists + America haters. Anybody who objects attains the status of holocaust denier. Maggie Thatcher’s agenda was not the only one hijacked by the global warming alarmists. One of the founding members of Greenpeace resigned when his movement was hijacked for political purposes. He discussed it in the documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle. Speaking of documentaries, Al Gore’s Oscar winning movie, An Inconvenient Truth, described ice core studies which showed a clear correlation between atmospheric CO2 levels and global temperatures over hundreds of thousands of years. While Al Gore is a Global Warming alarmist, The Great Global Warming Swindle was clearly the work of Global Warming skeptics. Interestingly, they both agree that there is a clear and long-term correlation between atmospheric CO2 levels and global temperature. Temp & CO2 ARE Correlated Now you should recall that the 1975 Newsweek graph suggested no correlation between manmade CO2 and temperature. But that was over a period of 75 years. The graph presented by Al Gore covered a million years. Peaks in temperature were matched by peaks in atmospheric CO2 levels. Temperature lows were accompanied by low CO2 levels.
Temp & CO2 are Clearly Correlated However, there was a key point that Gore never mentioned and is not obvious because of the scale of the graph, and that is the 800 year gap between the temperature and CO2 patterns. Warming Raised CO2 and not Vice Versa Temp 2.25 2.20 2.15 2.10 2.05 2.00 1.95 Temp Temp & CO2 800 Year Lag 240,000 237,500 Years before present 280 260 240 CO2 This is a slice of the same data over a 10,000 year period. You can see the 800 year gap. The explanation is really simple, but its impact on the global warming issue is devastating for the alarmists. First, the explanation: Volcanoes and oceans are the largest source of CO2 on the planet, and more CO2 can be dissolved in cold water than in warm water. As the oceans warmed up, CO2 would be expelled into the atmosphere. The reverse would occur when the oceans cooled. The 800 year gap is caused by the huge volume of the oceans. It takes 800 years.
